Combat Rifle 1.8 DPS: 540 Flat
Shield DPS (-5%) 513
Armor DPS (+10%): 594
20 shots per second, and just under 7 trigger pulls to the second.
Assault Rifle 1.8 DPS: 375 Flat
Shield DPS (+10%): 412.5
Armor DPS (-10%): 337.5
Shield DPS Proficiency 5: 474.375
Scrambler Rifle 1.8 DPS: 764.7 Flat (and Unrealistic)
Armor DPS (-20%): 611.8
Shield DPS (+20%): 917.64
All Require the maximum 12 shots in just over a second which is very difficult to tap that fast.
Scrambler DPS @ the 7 pulls to the second:
DPS Flat: 455
DPS Armor: 364
DPS Shields: 546
Rail Rifle 1.8 DPS: 361.5 Flat
Armor DPS (+10%): 397.7
Shield DPS (-10%): 325.35
I have tried the combat rifle and am dismayed at the lack of cons to the weapon. In 1.8 CCP made it appear as if Combat was getting nerfed harder than the rest of the weapons. 1.8 statistically speaking is still the domain of the combat rifle. As you can see it suffers less of a penalty than an AR but just as much buff.
It gives 3 shots to the pull, no heat, highest RoF, least shield penalty available (-5%), on par for armor buff with rail rifle (+10%).
While the ScR provides the highest theoretical DPS yields, you require a turbo controller basically and you will overheat while the combat rifle can output it's tremendous DPS with consistency.
Combat Rifle deals a higher DPS to shields than an AR and the Combat Rifle does "poorly" against shields while the AR does best against shields. Only the scrambler rifle can out compete it and even then it has consistency issues and requires an Amarr Assault for the best of results. You can literally get ambushed by an AR, turn around and kill them faster with a Combat Rifle.
Minmatar Combat Rifle does not require you to use a Minmatar suit which have the lowest HP. If purely the lowest HP suit got the highest DPS weapon maybe it would be balanced. Big maybe.
Quite plainly anyone who does not drop the two mill into Combat Rifles in 1.8 would be crazy.
Now a big argument for those who use the weapon is that "It's only OP because a majority of the players Armor tank"
Armor Tanking has the highest HP ceiling meaning you should last the longest under direct fire pretty much speaking but you are slowed down meaning that you are an easier target to begin with. The Combat Rifle is dealing nearly 600 armor damage a second and once armor is gone you are gone. An AR has as much shield bias as the combat rifle has armor bias but even it is out competed by the Combat Rifle against shields and the Combat Rifle is 5% gimped to shields.
This is nonsense. Assault Rifle and Rail Rifle are nonfactors in 1.8 and to counter the combat rifle you will need to dual tank because it performs so well against both and you will need to be an Amarr Assault with an ScR and a turbo controller or a headshot king. The stipulations required to run that set up are 10 fold greater than the CR.
This is nonsense.
I will close the vent now.

The OP of RRs & CRs is down to the fundamental way they function. Unless CCP wants to give them an enormous statistical hit, they're going to have to change that before the weapons are balanced.

Well. I will say that it should do more DPS than the automatic rifles because it is a burst weapon and requires a small amount more input from the use. I'm not sure how much more DPS it should do though.

I don't understand why they nerfed damage instead of just increasing the the characteristics of the weapons them selves. Up charge time a bit for the RR so it would get you wrecked in CQC but not hugely influence long range combat (which isn't that what it was for?) and and put in maybe 1/8th (to start) sec delay between bursts for the CR. Honestly I use the CR, I've tried the other guns I just like how the CR feels but you can't logically argue that it shouldn't have at least a fraction of a second delay between 3 shot bursts.
And in case anyone is wondering I've got prof and SS to 5 so it's not like I don't have SP invested, I'm just more interested in balanced weaponry than ruling through an irrational firing mechanism.

So the huge bounce that you get with the CR isn't a downside at range? Unless youre in somebodies face it is impossible to get the full DPS at range if you just spam the trigger. Whereas the RR has laughable recoil, and as far as I can tell NO dispersion, and its pretty much the same story with the SCR. And the RR can hit you for full damage all the way out to, wtf is it? 110 motherfucking meters!? STFU about how OP the CR is, its no more OP than the RR and SCR. Honestly theres only one problem with rifles right now and its that the AR doesn't compare with any of the rest of them.

CR is laser accurate to about 50m...... I should know I've started bringing them into my rotation over ScR...and using the Amarr Logi to make the most of its bonus.

Bojo, your numbers may be correct, on paper.
But in real-world application, they are pretty far off. for one, you have to consider not every shot is going to land. One missed shot takes up 3x the ammunition the scrambler or RR does. Furthermore, the CR has less optimal range than the others, so unless you're using a fast, stealthy suit to close gaps, you're going to have to rely on cover a lot more.
Then there's the huge factor you are missing, which is trigger pull lag. The CR currently has a horrible imput lag (I assume it's tied to server lag) where trigger pulls are anything but reliable. Sometimes it takes what seems like forever in between bursts, and other times it's near-instantaneous. You are only calculating the later, and disregarding the former.
The combat rifle could still be a contender, that is TBD. But it will NOT be as powerful as the RR, or ScR. I personally don't think DPS is something that should be compared in DUST, seeing as how it's almost never 100% dealt, due to misses, and extenuating circumstances. |

If we're factoring in misses, that hurts the CR the least as it has the highest RoF of all these weapons.
And it would still have by far the best damage output.

highest RoF... in 3 round bursts.
as I stated in my previous post, a miss with the CR is 3x more ammo than the other rifles. Which means one miss takes you 3 rounds closer to having to reload than the other guy.
and as we all know, reloads in the middle of a firefight are deadly. |

Not every shot is going to land on the AR either and it has less DPS. It also has less range than CR. I did put a "statistically speaking" disclaimer at top

That's not lag that's your lack of timing. If you pull the trigger before shots are finished then it will not fire the next burst. That's user fault not server. Even if you hear the CR as being finished. I have come across many people who have been able to time their shots perfectly and put me down faster than a second shields included.

Ohhh yes it will. ScR is only overtly powerful on the Amarr Assault and that is a borderline OP discussion but you have to wear the suit to get the results. As you can see, I matched the results of how many trigger pulls per second are required by both ScR and CR and you need a seriously quick finger to beat out the CR. RR is honestly getting the best most balanced nerf in my opinion, I do not believe it will be OP in 1.8 and that's coming from me, I hate them to death because they put my BrAR to shame.

Why does a miss with one bullet of a burst mean you miss with the rest of it?
It doesn't. It is entirely possible, and in fact quite likely that you will miss sometimes with one bullet of a burst and hit with another.
The net effect is you have a very high RoF. It doesn't function any differently overall.

The CR was nerfed an entire 3-5% more than the other rifles.
That makes no difference whatsoever. And, as shown quite effectively by the OP, it remains the best option, especially with the upcoming proficiency changes and the greater importance of favourable damage profiles, of which the CR has the best.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Indeed half the value of high RoF weapons is that they are forgiving in that you might miss with 1 bullet but are putting enough down range to ensure hits on the rest.

Dude WTF more do you want!?
I sat there a spouted nothing that can be disputed, they are numerical values. I said "It may appear that CR got nerfed harder" but it's still hands down the only option on the table all others considered.
It does -5% to shields and +10% to armor? That's less penalty than an RR yet the same armor +%? It has highest Accuracy rating of all the rifles at any tier.
You can't balance on lag either I've said that about speed tanking too.

Also RR and ScR have range on their side to deliver their damage

The 'larger nerf' ranges from 3-5%.
That's insignificant, especially looking at the statistics.

Only the scrambler rifle can out compete it and even then it has consistency issues and requires an Amarr Assault for the best of results.
The Combat Rifle is dealing nearly 600 armor damage a second and once armor is gone you are gone.
This is nonsense. Assault Rifle and Rail Rifle are nonfactors in 1.8 and to counter the combat rifle you will need to dual tank
The truth is slowly emerging. The Combat Rifle has always been the OP weapon and will remain a strong weapon, despite the "nerfs", when 1.8 drops.
No offense but the majority of folks talking crap on the RR didn't know jack **** about what they were talking about.
CR and the SCR are the main reasons why I dual tank. I absolutely have to. Shields does nothing to counter those weapons. Just having an all shield defense is like you're first time playing up against LRs in the chromosome build.
1.8...man...the tears are going to be plentiful. Not just about the weapons either. The strong will get stronger and the weak will get weaker...

- Yes AR have an issue because they arent doing enough damage.
I have always said AR's (even though I dont use them) should get more damage but steeper fall off damage The 'larger nerf' ranges from 3-5%. That's insignificant, especially looking at the statistics. Bojo is saying it's out ahead because it is out ahead. Which I didnt dispute Anyways keep up the QQ There's a distinction between QQ and actually being able to cite and prove something.
What is the distinction - That the Minmatar have a good weapon to pair with their underpowerd suits ???
That CR will suffer agaisnt ScR and RR at range damage wise as well as aiming wise because it jumps much more than the other two?
Its just disheartening to seemingly hear every Gallente user cry about every slight they have while not acknowledging things in their favour.
Instead of trying to get a further CR nerf, campaign for an AR buff.

I'm very happy with where the ScR went...I also just want to point out the irony of people complaining about the ScR....now defending the CR that is supposedly the best rifle in terms of damage output.

CRs are great up close, I wouldn't say they will beat a RR at 40m+ . The other thing we must consider is damage per clip. The CR has the worst damage per clip. You will most likely have to reload to kill a heavy. |

There is no reason for it to be the way it is now. +10/-5 BS yeah but even then it's still out DPS'ing an AR against shields, even the AR with proficiency 5 (this is all 1.8 talk BTW) Well. I will say that it should do more DPS than the automatic rifles because it is a burst weapon and requires a small amount more input from the use. I'm not sure how much more DPS it should do though.
Enough to favor trigger finger players. If it's just slightly outDPSs the AR, then you might as well use the AR because you get nearly the same DPS while having the ability to focus on dodging bullets and doing stuff like strafing better.

Wow, you mind telling me since when a Combat Rifle was forced to be used on a Minmatar Suit?
It's just disheartening to seemingly hear every Combat Rifle user turn a blind eye to the truth and find scapegoats.
Campaign for an AR buff? That would defeat the purpose of the lowered TTK because I would campaign for the lowest range weapon to have the highest DPS so that an AR would out DPS a Combat Rifle like it should.

No
I didn't propose anything in this thread, if you read it that is
I just laid the facts on the line
EDIT: You do not have my favor, only those who do are allowed to call me informally as Bojo. All others must refer to me by my full title.

Enjoy your 330 DPS from a prototype weapon. I understand packing an underdog weapon but the Breach is just too weak. At least run the Tac or Burst AR.

I run them all!
Also for some reason I go 14/2 with it/ high KDR consistent. I can't explain it it's just easier to use to me.

Until you round a corner with your CR and get destroyed by an Amarr or Caldari sentinel. Then you won't be king of anything.

Proof that DPS isn't everything? I used up some from my inventory a few weeks ago. Switching to it from CR just accentuated the difference in damage capability. I did find the Tac fun to run with again, but it always was a favorite of mine.

Yes, I do not believe DPS is everything.....
But the Combat Rifle has the best Accuracy rating......(seriously check it out) 59.02
I've been running Breach and Tac consistently over these last weeks and the Breach is just better than the TAC because of the hip fire. The Hip fire on a breach lets you strafe and shoot with amazing accuracy at forty meters out with little miss.
All you see is a dancing Gal Scout many meters off humiliating you with the least used weapon on the field perhaps.

So the plasma rifle has, what, 3-4% higher dps than the rail rifle now. Except that armour values, against which rails deal more damage, are generally higher than shield values... Guess they're more or less balanced, or would be, if they had the the same engagement range. |

One could say that yes. With numbers as close as they are though, between the RR and AR it will require some field testing. But with the gap between CR and other weapons it's not even necessary unless there is an unspoken Accuracy nerf.
